Angelina Jolie is officially no longer Angelina Jolie-Pitt. Although, did we ever actually refer to her as that? The 43-year-old is said to have had her maiden name restored after she and ex-husband Brad Pitt negotiated a bifurcated judgement, which allows the courts to officially declare them as single. Documents filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court say: ‘Petitioner’s former name is restored to Angelina Jolie.’ According to The Blast, the exes’ six children – Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 12, and 10-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox – will still have the hyphenated surname Jolie-Pitt.This is the second time Angelina has taken to the courts in regards to her surname. In 2002, she was granted the request to be known as Angelina Jolie, and have Voight dropped from her surname, after a long estrangement from father Jon Voight. Angelina and Brad, 55, are officially single in the eyes of the court after they filed for a bifurcated judgement. They will still have to negotiate the terms of the divorce, which includes working on a final settlement.

Actor, filmmaker and humanitarian Angelina Jolie is not ruling out running for public office.'Never say never,' Jolie, 43, told People. '[But ] right now I am looking to others for leadership.' The United Nations Special Envoy didn't mention what kind of role might appeal to her, but talked about the issues she's focused on right now, like women's empowerment and a proposal for a permanent international body to investigate war crimes. The long-time member of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees has spent much of her free time focusing on international human rights over the past two decades. Recently, Jolie has urged nations to deploy more women peacekeepers in order to prevent sexual violence against refugees. 'If you look across the world, there are far too many women and girls who are not only not seeing progress, their rights are slipping away from them,' she said. 'We have to change laws that treat women as second-class citizens.' In addition to working to change laws around the world, Jolie is also fighting to ensure those laws are enforced. 'One of the things we are putting forward now is a proposal for a permanent international body to investigate war crimes, including mass rape and other sexual and gender-based violence,' she said.This is a goal Jolie has been working on since 2012, when she set up the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative (PSVI) with former British foreign secretary William Hague.'There is now a lot more awareness and discussion and many more countries have made commitments,' Jolie said.'For example, 156 countries have pledged not to include amnesties for rape when they are negotiating peace agreements. It is hard to believe, but peace treaties routinely grant immunity to people who’ve carried out the most disgusting violent crimes against civilians. So we have to make sure all those countries live up to that commitment.Since breaking up with Brad Pitt more than two years ago, Jolie is focused on their six children and her work. Her oldest, Maddox, enters college in the fall.She wrapped up her first starring movie role in four years in 'Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.' It's due out in October.Her full interview appears in People's April 15 issue.
